Akismet Plugin Bug Fixed

That was a speedy update! Earlier, I blogged about the problems I was having with Akismet. I had update to the latest version (2.1.7) but a bug disabled the plugin on one of my blogs, and for my other blogs, I could no longer “Delete All.”

The guys in Development rolled out a quick fix. Get your latest Akismet (updated to 2.1.8 at this writing) by going here.

In some upcoming posts, I’m going to address a way I learned to fight comment spam. Akismet is great from keeping it from my posts, but I still have to sort through hundreds– sometimes thousands– of spam comments per DAY, for deletion. I’d very much rather research my own diet pill reviews, thank you very much– not have them spammed to me by the hundreds. I’m still in the “testing” mode, but I’ve already seen excellent results. I’ll have more later.
